Artur Boruc has been forced to defend the ticket pricing for his emotional farewell match against Celtic this month. The Scottish Premiership champions are heading to Warsaw for a friendly against the legendary keeper’s former club Legia.
Boruc is being rewarded for eight years service at the Ekstraklasa club which will also form part of Ange Postecoglou’s pre-season plans. However, fans of the Polish side have slammed the cost of briefs for the match at the Marshall Jozef Pilsudski's Municipal Stadium on July 20. The tickets are priced between 60 and 75 Polish zlotys - just £11 and £15 - which is double what Legia Warsaw fans would be charged for marquee European matches. Livi Legia fans - who have snapped up just 3000 tickets - stated: "We note the ticket prices for Artur Boruc's game against Celtic with astonishment and embarrassment.
"It's as if the previous season has been wiped from the memory of those who run the club - no apologies, no explanations and hiding their heads n the sand. They had a chance of honouring Artur with a full stadium, but nothing. The people in charge of our club are able to spoil everything. The desire to feed on the fans' great sympathy for Artur Boruc is embarrassing and is below the belt."
